With more than 13,000 artworks in its permanent collection, concerts, community classes and a college of art and design, Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute is the cultural heart of Central New York.

The Museum of Art presents about 10 changing exhibitions annually, drawing from the permanent collection and from travelling exhibitions from other leading institutions. These are featured in a 1960 building designed by Philip Johnson and in Fountain Elms, the 1850s ancestral home of the Institute’s founders.

Performing Arts programs include live concerts by leading jazz, Americana, and folk artists, children’s shows, recitals, spoken word, films, and live performance simulcasts.

Kids teens and adults can receive professional art instruction from the more than 50 classes offered in three semesters each year at the School of Art. At the PrattMWP College of Art and Design Students enroll in the Pratt four-year bachelor of fine arts program, complete the first two years on our Utica campus, and then relocate to Pratt Institute to complete their degree requirements.
